 ⭐ Marketing 

While most of WIKINAM's  focus lies in marketing subscribers through our Yellow Pages alternative marketing strategies are also undertaken. These strategies presently include door-to-door presentations, social media and email marketing.

In the last year Page Visits and Users grew at a rate of over 500%. WIKINAM now receives 8,000 visits daily. There simply is no more more cost effective way of marketing your business since even social media is in serious decline.

    The cost of paid social media marketing has doubled in the last twoyears. Organic reach on social media has become almost non-existent making it highly questionable how effective social media marketing is and for how long.

 ⭐ Cost (Value for Money) 

    At N$2,000 per year, WIKINAM is one of the affordable and most effective marketing mediums in Namibia.

WIKINAM cost per click has already fallen well below N$2 and is  expected to decrease to about N$0.50 by in 2022. While social media may provide a lot of reach, engagement is generally less than 10%.

    Generally developing a equivalent web page costs N$7,000 to N$14,000 these days.
This excludes:

    Domain Registration Fees

    Hosting

    Updates Fees

    Security Certificate Fees

 ⭐ Social Media 

WIKINAM has managed a following of over 10,000 on social media in 2021 spread over platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Unfortunately Social media engagements are generally in decline due to algorithms employed by service providers such as Facebook. Their goal is to have their subscribers pay for reach and engagement which IMHO goes against what social media stands for. Social media sites like Facebook and Instagram are now more advertising companies than social media platforms and organic (i.e. Free) reach has been in significant decline for the last few years. This makes an investment in WIKINAM marketing even more important since or marketing is not based in algorithms which expects you to pay for reach and engagement.

 ⭐ Responsiveness Web Design 

Responsive design ensures all pages work equally well on all devices, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops and PCs. Most screen sizes / layouts are supported.

 ⭐ Analytics 

While WIKINAM has been gathering data since the beginning we only started presenting businesses with such data in 2021. The is no point in showing what a apple tree will be worth when it is still a seedling. WIKINAM essentially only bore it's first fruit at the end of 2020. Like any new business we first had to establish the service and do marketing to prove to Namibian that we have a valuable service to offer.
